That would be majorly awesome if Judas priest joined the tour. May as well throw in Slayer and BLS while we're at it. This would commemorate the big 8 year anniversary of the best ozzfest tour of all time. 2004

Black SabbathWe were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath plans...we have no choice but to continue recording without him although our door is always open... We are still in the UK with Tony. Writing and recording the new album and on a roll... See you at Download!!!

Is this legit or is that site another rumor page like blabbermouth? It sucks if this is true. I'll still go see them but I'm probably not getting floor seats or even buying a t-shirt. There might as well not be a reunion if this is the case. Just call it Ozzy with Tony, Geezer and his current drummer Tom Clefeotus.

I'm with MS. the "reunion" is not a reunion without Bill. is there no other drummer who ever played with Sabbath that can take up the slack? whatever happened to Vinny Appice waiting in the wings, in case of any medical problems? and I'm still waiting for a more reliable source for information this important.

It's regrettable, but it will not in any way diminish this tour for me whatsoever. It'll still be Sabbath to me no matter who the drummer is. If they replaced Ozzy or Iommi wasn't in the band, then that's different.
